Tradepoint Atlantic (TPA) today provided an update on operations that are underway to assist with restoration and recovery efforts following the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge:
- While vessel traffic beyond the Francis Scott Key Bridge remains temporarily suspended due to channel clearing efforts, TPA’s marine terminal remains fully open. Throughout the recovery process, cargo berths have been operational, accepting previously scheduled arrivals, while also providing additional capacity to welcome redirected cargo.
- Redirected cargo continues to arrive at Tradepoint Terminals, as work to clear debris with state and federal partners has fully begun. TPA is committed to accepting redirected cargo to help maintain the supply chain and re-establish commercial activity.
- Over the next fifteen days, six regularly scheduled roll-on/roll-off (Ro/Ro) vessels and an additional nine redirected vessels will arrive at the site. During that time, 10,000 automobiles will be unloaded and processed utilizing ILA’s Local 333.
- As previously reported, crews and multiple floating cranes, barges, and vessels have initiated wreckage removal from the Patapsco River. A five acre facility has been cleared at TPA to store and process recovered bridge material.
- TPA continues to be in close coordination with the Moore administration, local elected officials, and shipping companies to assist in navigating the logistical concerns impacting the Port of Baltimore.
